Anubis the Philosomancer

we,
as potentially conscious beings,
do incur such fantastic Purgatory
and yet we seem
indeed so very keen
to choose to wallow in
vain and irksome squalor-
a comfortable yet blind stupor
when it comes to
the very real causality
wrought of our intention:

yes, you read right:
i said "potentially conscious."

Infatuated

we ignore each other
and pretend the other
person doesn't exist
but deep down inside
we both know it wasn't
supposed to end like this

Pain

Sin

Pain

The ticking of the clock, the tears stain her cheeks, and memories fade away

And now

She reaches into the dark, searching for the heart
That made her feel whole again

But

With exploration still raw, love fell to the floor and love spills out again

So you think that nightime will heal
And so you think that love ain't the deal
But inside you still feel
His love

And time just goes and time really knows
That the end of the line
Is just the beginning of hurt

So you think nightime will heal
And so you think that love ain't the deal
But inside you still feel
His love

I really like how Roger Waters sings, and that's how I'm trying to portray these words.

For the Life of Me

Here on the beach is where I stand,
holding your hand with our feet in the sand.
Wave upon wave crashing into our bodies,
but they'll never break us apart
because I'll never let go...

Not even for the life of me.

You Right Now

You Right Now

you
have caused
me more grief
in this one life I live
than anyone else I have
ever had the misfortune of
knowing, and having to bear seeing
I don't know why, nor do I understand
why you feel the need to take it all out on me
I am not your punching bag, or release, so please
please stop hurting this so easily broken heart
enough is enough I wont take it anymore
I would leave if I could but I cant alone
and so this horrid storm I wait out
the mixed messages confuse me
the I love you vs the I hate
tears me apart inside
and I just want an
end to all the
misery
rn.

Masks

Masks

You cannot conceive,
The emotions weaved in me.
Separated yet entwined.
All unconfined.
I am never me,
I am always she.
"Be yourself" they say.
But I am like a cabaret.
Full of other girls,
But none of them me.

My submission poem.

Last breath.

Last breath.

Tonight is the night
That my soul is freed
From this contaminated,
Cursed body of mine.
Tonight is the night
That I end the suffering
End the endless, miserable
Nights that I've condemned
Myself to.
Tonight is the night
That the last breath is taken.

How Selfish, How Vain

How Selfish, How Vain

And just like that, you left him.
With no thought to how it would effect him.
How selfish of you, how vain.
This is why no one will ever love a broken girl like you.

With no thought to ow it would effect him.
He did so much for you, sacrificed himself for you.
This is why no one will ever love a broken girl like you.
You’re cruel like everyone else, you lack empathy and a heart.

He did so much for you, sacrificed himself for you.
That boy threw away his own family for you.
You’re cruel like everyone else, you lack empathy and a heart.
He cried over you for nights on end, because you wouldn’t smile for him.

That boy threw away his own family for you.
How selfish of you, how vain.
He cried over you for nights on end, because you wouldn’t smile for him.
And just like that, you left him.

Vagabond Slam

where did we go wrong
I know I can't stay here
I hope you take care
wherever that is

sometimes you makes me feel like
such a *****
that I'm convinced I'm even more sick
you laugh at slit wrists
but you can bite the tongue you bit

don't to bite the hand that feeds you
I wish you fed yourself self respect
so I could swallow and digest it

here we go again
where did we go wrong
I know I can't stay here
I hope you take care
wherever that is

you might find me somewhere
my plans for the future
includes a steady vocation

consider this a vacation
as my poetry travels through the air
I'll be making rhymes and cop
some flows

just hope you're not another
obstacle because you are the fork
in the road
when i need to make a right I make a wrong
yet continue along

where did we go wrong
I know I can't stay here
I hope you take care
wherever that is

yesterday was like today
but today I trust even less of what
these people say
I live in shame and take all blame

it doesn't matter how you choose
to play the game
the game plays you so respect yourself
and don't forget
what you're about
or where you're from

where did we go wrong
I know I can't stay here
I hope you take care
wherever that is
